Hi,

I downloaded emtex via anonymous ftp from ymir.claremont.edu.  When I
tested the integrity of the various *.zip files using pkunzip's -t
option, several of the files failed, and showed errors.  The error
message suggests that the files are corrupted.  I downloaded the same
files again with the same outcome, and got the same result using a newer
version of pkunzip.  Have others encountered this problem.  I got the
same exact files from another source (niord.shsu.edu). Several .zip
files were corrupted, but I have tried to work with tex1.zip from emtex,
where the tex.exe file is corrupted.  I tried pkzipfix to no avail.
The failure is in checking the CRC code.

The error message looks like this.

When tex1.zip is listed, the relevant portion looks like this.
